Art on four wheels, 954 CORVETTE ROADSTER with very rare and desirable color combination BLACK with RED Interior. With 74,000 actual miles verified by title. FRAME OFF restored with no miles. True California Black Plate car. When it first came out it was called the, HE FIRST ALL AMERICAN SPORTS CAR, nd the EXPERIMENTAL DREAM CAR, or FUN LOVING PEOPLE. This is the design that started it all for Corvette lovers.

EXTERIOR This incredible Corvette has been off the road for over 50 years, he restoration process was started 20 years ago with a low mileage beautiful 1954 roadster body and has had no miles since. The car looks pristine. This is the rarest color combination offered in 1954, et black with sportsman red interior black canvas soft top. This car was sanded to perfection, eep into the gelcoat and fiber glass to get the body smooth enough to sport a new jet black mirror finish paint job, ew bumpers, ew grill, ew headlight covers and New side trim pieces were added and look amazing.

INTERIOR The cockpit is impeccable. The best colors. The Sportsman red interior is gorgeous and looks as nice as the picture. The seats were done professionally and have no wear. The red crowned white instrument panel is stunning. The gages are clean and crisp and is a work of art. The carpet is new, he steering wheel is beautifully painted. The trunk was also restored and has correct tool in the travel bag. Spare and jack in the trunk.

MECHANICS Under the hood is a correct Blue Flame 150 high compression 6 cylinder valve-in head engine with three rebuilt side draft carburetors, hielded ignition and dual exhaust system. The engine and the 2 speed powerglide transmission were rebuilt by the previous owner and have no miles since the restoration, he engine and transmission were represented to us as correct for the car. From what we could determine, he engine has a date code early 1965 and could be a replacement block for the experimental car or could have been used very late in the year. The transmission with the correct side mounted shifter and the rear end appear to be correct and original to the car with Hotchkiss drive 355 to one gear ratio.

UNDERCARRIAGE The undercarriage is just as nice as the the car with a spotless correct X frame, ith the correct rebuilt hydraulic 11" self energizing brake system. Four leaf springs and direct double action shock absorbers. The car is rolling on correct steel wheels, ide whites and brand new expensive correct hubcaps. This is a rare find and we feel fortunate to have this beautiful Corvette that inspired the first All American Sports Car.
